I think Melody misread the question. The question REALLY asks how long before the wound is 90% smaller.
There are two ways to answer this, depending on what you are learning these days.....if the wound shrinks a contant amount of the original each day (5%) then we need to find how many days to shrink 90%
90/5 = 18 days.
If the wound shrinks 5% of the wound area on THAT day, a different answer will result: As per Melody's method
0.1 = 1(0.95)^n
log0.1/log0.95 = n = 44.89 days (I think)
